Services & Process

North Country Taxidermy offers taxidermy services suited to Minnesota's wide variety of game. That includes whitetail deer shoulder and full body mounts, fish reproductions and skin mounts for walleye, northern pike, and muskie, and bird mounts for the state's popular waterfowl and upland seasons. Habitat displays and scenic bases add depth to a finished mount and are popular among customers who want their piece to tell a story. Minneapolis-area customers often come with fish from the Boundary Waters or deer from northern county hunts, so familiarity with a wide range of specimens matters.

Service Area

North Country Taxidermy serves customers throughout Minneapolis and the greater Twin Cities metro area. The shop is accessible from Saint Paul, the northern suburbs, and the western metro, making it a convenient stop for hunters returning from trips across northern and central Minnesota.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Minneapolis taxidermist handle specimens from out-of-state hunts?
Yes, but certain species harvested out of state may require documentation like a hunting license or transport permit. Check with your state's wildlife agency and the taxidermist before transporting the specimen across state lines.
Does North Country Taxidermy work with museums or schools?
Minneapolis-area taxidermists frequently work with educational institutions and natural history collections. If you represent a museum or school looking for specimen work or historical restoration, it's worth a direct call to discuss your project.
What is a habitat display and how much does it cost?
A habitat display incorporates natural materials like rocks, driftwood, grasses, and painted backdrops to place a mount in a realistic scene. Costs vary widely based on complexity, but they typically add several hundred dollars or more to the base mount price.
Can I get a mount done of a pet or non-game animal?
Some taxidermists work on pets or non-game animals, though this is a more specialized service that not all studios offer. Call ahead to ask, and be aware that freeze-drying is a common alternative method for pet preservation.
How do I find a taxidermist in Minneapolis with no posted reviews?
Visiting the shop in person and asking to see a portfolio of finished work is the most reliable method. You can also ask the taxidermist for references from past customers who don't mind being contacted.
What's the best time of year to bring in a whitetail cape in Minnesota?
Minnesota's deer seasons run from October through December, so most capes arrive during that window. Getting yours in early in the season, or calling ahead to reserve a spot before the season opens, gives you the best chance of a shorter wait time.
